Lady Jag--

Totally understandable. You're cruise bound, and mom or no mom those thoughts take priority. :grin

Anyway on the Spirit the Laundry Rooms were on decks 1 midship (I used this one all the time as it's right beside the elevator), deck 6 (all the way forward). I know they had laundry rooms on one or two other decks but these two I actually used.

As memory serves (might be as good as yours though--ha!) she shouldn't have any kind of obstruction on Empress Deck. I have been on Main Deck 4 in a 5a with totally obstructed view thanks to the lifeboat so Empress Deck 6 should be all clear. Upper Deck 5 would see the topside of the lifeboats. Empress Deck should be great for your mom--nice and quiet since there's a cabin deck above. If she should receive an offer for an upgrade to the Panorama Deck, I personally wouldn't take it. I once went from the peacefulness of the Verandah Deck to what was supposedly an upgrade on Panorama--NOT. Granted on Panorama it was mid-ship (#8208) which was ideal but the noise from above was horrendous, and ran from around 06:00-02:00 every day. Thought I was in a bowling alley and it wasn't 'bowling for dollars'!

Enjoy your cruise this weekend! Look forward to hearing about it when you return.

I have lots of Caper papers from Spirit so let me know if you want me to look up anything.

All the best,
